This typeface is a high-contrast serif with pronounced flaring at stroke ends, producing wedge-like, sculpted terminals rather than uniform slabs. Vertical stems are heavy and steady, while thin hairlines and tapered connections create sharp light–dark rhythm across letters and numerals. Serifs are bracketed and often triangular in feel, with crisp beak-like details on forms such as C, E, F, and S. The lowercase shows a traditional two-storey a and g, compact apertures, and ball terminals on letters like j, reinforcing a refined, display-oriented texture.
It performs best in headlines and short, prominent text where contrast and flare can be appreciated—magazine titles, editorial pull quotes, posters, and book covers. It also suits branding and packaging that aims for an elevated, classic feel, especially at larger sizes where the hairlines remain crisp.
The overall tone is formal and theatrical, with a confident, high-fashion presence that reads as premium and editorial. Its sharp contrast and flared endings add a sense of ceremony and gravitas, suggesting classic print tradition with a modern, punchy edge.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold display serif with strong contrast and flared, calligraphic endings, balancing classic serif structure with an attention-grabbing, sculptural finish for high-impact typography.
In text settings the heavy verticals and narrow hairlines create a strong vertical cadence and a noticeably chiseled silhouette, especially in capitals. Numerals are sturdy and headline-friendly, with clear contrast and distinctive serifed finishes that match the letterforms.
